Korina, a teenager, experiences a bizarre accident that leaves her permanently wheelchair-bound. She is immediately challenged to prove that she remains a woman with desires and a libido. She refuses being treated as an innocent, asexual angel who couldn’t possibly engage in flirting or sexual play, and struggles with a prolonged period of depression, emotional instability, and self-humiliation. Eventually, she resolves to reclaim her life and find her place in a society that often feels hostile towards her. She aspires to dream and pursue ambitions like anyone else, refusing to be pitied. Korina fights to prove that her identity is not defined solely by her wheelchair.

However, life is shaped by choices, and for Korina, these choices remain severely limited.

What makes The Libido of Angels so remarkable is not only its original and taboo-filled subject matter. The book’s relentless language is captivating, and its sarcastic cynicism leaves readers breathless, making it utterly unputdownable
